I will not recommend you; you did not read my communication. You are acting in the usual racist manner I've experienced from your group; you have already decided the case without my evidence; you are prejudiced; I would not hire you.
There needs to be a mechanism eg. good will allowing a university to explore its conscience about its behaviour towards the community, potential students, past students, and to resolve difficulties in its interaction with people who are not connected to the university with formal ties eg when the university is actively engaged in exploiting someone.
Sincerely,
Janine A.F.Sakowicz

Dear Jan,
I have advised you as to the most appropriate avenues for pursuing your concerns: the provincial Ombudsman and the police. As you are not a member of the University of Alberta community, I am not able to assist you any further and will not respond to further communications from you.

As outlined in my note below, I believe the university has a responsability to investigate as well and I am wondering where that responsibility
to former university students and citizens that might be students again in the future lies....?\
It is not appropriate for the university to dismiss concerns since the police now depend on the university for direction via criminology and computer science input.
thansks,
JanS

Dear Jan,
If you have evidence that members of the University community are committing crimes or have committed crimes, then the appropriate thing to do is go to the police.
Yours truly,

Is there any office in the university that is concerned with crimes against citizens of the community or potential students? by faculty involved in community research like policing and robotics?
Thanks so much Lara,
Jan

Dear Jan,
Thank you for your prompt response. If you are not a member of the University of Alberta community, i.e. you are not a student or a staff member, then this office does not have a mandate to assist you. You may find it helpful to take your concerns to the Ombudsman for the Province of Alberta, as their mandate is much broader and would cover the issues you mention below. You may find out about the Ombudsman at http://www.ombudsman.ab.ca/
Good luck; I’m sorry I am not able to assist you any further.
Yours truly,
Lara Apps

Subject: Re: your message
Complex problem and I mentioned the complex dept. that I had difficulty with largely.....also in such situs. the UofA hospital got involved in a very nasty way and when I tried to reason with them either on my own behalf or on the behalf of someone else, they were at all times reluctant to see reasoning ability on my part and only were willing to indulge in abusive, sexist,totalitarian, racist, and cultural hatred complete with an incident of sterilization. This is the first time that I have reported this so bluntly because I am desperate to have a report occur. I have written to many depts, patient concern offices etc. previously and have been disregarded. What do you suggest?
I consider this to be dangerous eg. complaining to them is dangerous and I feel I have been retaliated against for doing so.
Can you assist me in making a series of complaints or seeing a complaint through to the end? The college of physicians and surgeons would not assist in the matter where physicians were concerned dismissing the matter without any consideration. I believe this is the reflection of the involvement of flr 6 TLC, UofA.
Sincerely,
Janine A.F.Sakowicz

Dear Jan,
Thank you for the additional information. It is still not quite clear to me what happened and what your connection with the University of Alberta is. Until I have a better idea of what the situation is, it is hard for me to know whether there is anything this office can do for you. Could you please explain in more detail what happened in 2008, how Denis Noel was involved, and what you mean by criminal harassment by university faculty members? Did you have any dealings with Campus Security, and if so, do you have a file reference number?
Thank you,
Lara Apps

I was first alerted to serious problems in about 1995 or so when I was told not to bother the women's centre. This seemed to be an extreme attitude and I was left helpless to deal with the horrible criminal harassment and torture by some people connected to the university system. in fact , the univesity lawyer Denis Noel had me handled on an eviction as reprisal for complaining in about 2008 (March). I had been stalked by people that were professionasl and by university connected people. It is difficult to prove because for one thing my evidence was confiscated in the eviction proceedings. I was unable to continue my studies, to use the materials I had collected for work and the items of treasure that my mother had left me at her death in 2000. Is it possible to get an advocate to assist me in trying to get my belongings back? Thanks,
JanS

Dear Jan,
Our receptionist forwarded your email message to me for a response.
The Student Ombudservice is staffed by three University of Alberta employees and two Students’ Union employees who are also students. Our role is to advise members of the University community about their rights and options when they encounter problems. We do not investigate complaints ourselves and we do not have authority to impose decisions or penalties on anyone.
You are welcome to discuss your concerns with me. I am a University employee with several years of experience as an Ombudsperson. It is not very clear from your email what the nature of the problem is, so it would be helpful if you could either provide more details in another email or come to see me in person. If you would like to meet with me in person, please contact our receptionist, Cheryl, at 780-492-4689 or by emailing Ombuds@ualberta.ca. Our office is on the 5th floor of the Students’ Union Building.
Yours truly,
Lara Apps
Graduate Ombudsperson
